This is us!

Make the everyday extraordinary

At Flying Tiger Copenhagen, we design products that make everyday life more fun, creative, and joyful.

From toys and stationery to kitchen essentials and party finds, we create affordable products that make the ordinary a little more unexpected and moments together a little more memorable.

Rooted in Danish design, we believe good design should not be expensive or exclusive. It should be simple, clever, playful, and most importantly made for real life.

We believe the smallest things can make the biggest difference: a dinner table that sparks conversation, a game that entertains on a rainy day, or a small gift that says, “I thought of you” (instead of “oops, I forgot”).

Because real value is not found in the things we own, but in the moments we share.

That is how we make the everyday, a little extraordinary.

Our history

Flying Tiger Copenhagen traces its roots back to a stall at a flea market in Denmark where founder Lennart Lajboschitz sold umbrellas with his wife Suz. Then, in 1988, Lennart and Suz opened their first brick-and-mortar store in a local neighbourhood of Copenhagen.

Its name was Zebra, and it sold umbrellas and sunglasses and socks and surplus goods. The first store called Tiger opened in Copenhagen in 1995, and everything in it cost 10 Danish kroner. The Danish word for a ten-kroner coin is pronounced tee’-yuh, which sounds just like the Danish word for tiger.

Now, more than 30 years after the opening of our first store, we are a variety retail concept with 1000+ stores worldwide.

Our People philosophy

At Flying Tiger Copenhagen our doors are always open! It is important for us that all employees feel welcome in our offices and can share ideas and work together. At the same time, we are also aware that working from home can have beneficial influence on our work life balance and the daily assignments. We want to ensure that it is possible to create flexible and attractive working conditions for all employees.

Based on learnings from the hybrid ways of working that the pandemic imposed on all of us, we have designed the HQ office not only to be a vibrant space where our employees want to come to work, meet colleagues, hang out and have fun, but also made sure thatwe support a hybrid working environment with the flexibility for all to do their best.
